Episode notes
The Raiders fall to the Chiefs in a frustrating 30-27 loss.
We break down the biggest moments from the game, including the huge 4th-and-2 defensive stop to open the game, Mike Washington Jr. getting involved early, and a slow start from Ashton Jeanty.
We also talk about the big plays the defense gave up, Quay Walker’s huge sack to force a field goal, and the Raiders taking a 13-10 lead into halftime with possession to start the second half.
Then comes the biggest question of the game: was going for it on 4th-and-2 in the third quarter worth the risk? We discuss the aggression, the missed opportunity, and how the game ultimately slipped away in the fourth quarter.
The Raiders gave up their first fourth-quarter points of the season, but the defense still made some big stops when it mattered. After taking a 19-17 lead, however, Kansas City hit the Raiders with explosive plays, followed by the late fumble that completely changed the game.
Our keys going into this matchup were simple: no turnovers and the defense continuing to ball. Unfortunately, the Raiders couldn’t get it done when it mattered most.
A frustrating loss — but now it’s time to shake it off and turn the page.
New England is next.
